Where Do You Find Boneless Turkey Breasts (not roasts)?

[wisebri224]

I know we are past the time of year for turkey being everywhere, but even during Thanksgiving season here in Northern Illinois, I had a heck of a time trying to find a turkey breast to smoke (3-5 pounds?) that wasn't a roast or multiple breasts just twined together. Anyone know of a place to get or order them? Preferably not $13/lb like one place I found online.

Anyone ever use Restaurant Depot? Do they have this stuff? I'm not a business so I don't have access to that at this point.

This year, I got to a point that I bought a 20 pound turkey on sale and just removed the breasts to the best of my ability and smoked them separately. It left me with good other pieces to smoke and a carcass to make some good stock with, but I don't always need all of that.

I don’t know if this chain is everywhere, but I’ve picked up breasts and drums at Sprouts in the past.

also, if you can’t find any, you can ask the butcher department at your local grocer to break down a full turkey for you, so you have it all as you mention above for stock and such. They may do it, not sure on if they do that but most will do beef cuts.

I just bought a boneless turkey breast from Jewel-osco. I paid $10.99 for the three pound roast.

Try this link and search for local suppliers:

Edit: I see you don't want a roast, maybe this link will help? They do highlight fresh turkey breast, which is what I think you want.

Just buy a bone-in turkey breast at Kroger, Wal-Mart, etc. and fillet it off the bone. That's what I always do.

That was my thinking, too. Or just get the ones mentioned tied together and untie them.

It's really not that hard, I'm sure there's a Youtube video about it (or about boning out a chicken breast you could extrapolate from).

Would this work? It says bone in, but that could always be removed. Seems like it would save buying a whole turkey just for the breast. Our Walmart had them. Have fun!

Buying a whole turkey then butchering it was the route I took this year. It was a little messy but the whole butterball ran $33. The boneless breasts by themselves were about $15-$20 each.
Getting white meat, dark meat plus the carcass and all the parts to make stock is the way to go IMHO.

Please be advised, you can't get a leg up with turkey breast.

Kind of a commute but the Metro up the street from us always has parts out turkeys for sale.
Can be pricy though, as mentioned above buying a bird and quartering it may be the way to go.

Bought Diestel brand from a local higher end supermarket. Highly recommend. So much better IMHO than a full turkey. All white meat that can be carved like a turkey.

Google map turkey farms near me

Depending on the place, they’ll sell parts as well as whole turkeys.

One near me sells bone in for $5.59/lb or boneless skinless. For $7.59. Much better quality than what you’ll get in a grocery store.
